Actually, it gives a fairly explicit hint.  Program gplc assumed the file
to be already in binary format already in tried to link it without
compiling.  Try to use standardized file extensions like .pl or .pro
instead of .prolog.  Then gplc is not going to be as confused.

There is an option for gcc to treat files with weird extensions as
specific program type (e.g. -x c++ IIRC) but gplc has little need for it.
